To state the obviously, WI doing very well here after seeing off the early challenge of Lee and Bracken. Australia don't have a lot of experience chasing in recent times and if the conditions are a bit tricky later on and this might be very, very difficult.

Yeah it'll be interesting how the pitch plays, if it continues to play like this i think Australia can chase a pretty large total (and with Taylor gone)
scoreboard pressure is so important though

We do bat deep with Hopes and Ronchi - but id swap both of em for one Haddin at #7

Definately some credit has to go to the Windies, but the amount of overs Bracken and maybe Lee were given was tragic. Bracken had them guessing every ball, but Ponting (who had one slip for Marshall against Bracken) was way too reactionary. Crap stuff.

Bowling Symonds before Watson a masterstroke aswell.

Well our bowling hasnt been tested so far
and i questioned playing 3 specialist bowlers and 2 allrounders would go..
so now we see

should be putting the brakes on atm with two quick wickets, but its not occuring so far

I think Hopes will come back soon.. will love not bowling to Gayle who really unsettled his natural length

great to see Ponting stick with aggressive fields... really good

Was just looking at Symonds recent ODI bowling as I thought it hadn't been so great, and was surprised quite how bad it was.

Career: Ave 38.4, Econ 5.04, 5.0 overs per match
Last 2 years: Ave 59.81, Econ 5.43, 2.7 overs per match
